Kllivo gives your restaurant purpose-built ordering with menu management, delivery/pickup/dine-in, QR codes, and branch management - all included. No third-party apps or complex setup.

Total cost for restaurant use: $54-$139+/month before transaction fees. QR ordering, delivery scheduling, and branch management may need additional apps.
